Help! Which Parador in S. Spain?
 

My wife and I will be in S. Spain for 5 nights. We figure 2 nights in Seville and then three nights for Paradors in the region. (We need to catch a plane from Seville to Barcelona at the end of our stay so we can't wander off too far.)<BR><BR>The question of the day is which ones? After reading posts for two hours, it seems that people like Cadiz, Nerja and Ronda. Are there others we should think about? <BR><BR>We also feel that we should not miss the Alhambra. Is there a recommended Parador near Granada? <BR><BR>Thank you sooo much for your help.<BR>

Oh my goodness!Look up their website! We have tried many times to reserve at the one in Granada,have had to settle for eating lunch there.It is on the actual grounds of the Alhambra and probably the best of all the paradores in Spain!

I just finished making reservations in Ronda. The website is great. Go www.parador.es.com

I was very fortunate to get two nights at the parador in Granada this July. Couldn't get the exact 2 nights I wanted, but I wrote back and told them I would take any 2 consecutive nights during the first 2 weeks in July. They wrote back right away with alternate dates and we planned our trip around Granada. You might have to be flexible to get into the paradors.

If you cannot get into the Granada parador, the Alhambra Palace is a good alternative as it is also on the grounds of the Alhambra. Request a room with a view overlooking the city... it is amazing.

Carmona is the best we saw. It's luxurious, service, views, light airy ambience for about $100/night. Really superb. <BR><BR>I wouldn't stay at the paradors in Nerja and Ronda simply because there are better and cheaper places in these towns.<BR><BR>
